Title: Tracing the origin of azimuthal gluon correlations in the color glass condensate

Abstract

Here we examine the origins of azimuthal correlations observed in high energy proton-nucleus collisions by considering the simple example of the scattering of uncorrelated partons off color fields in a large nucleus. We demonstrate how the physics of fluctuating color fields in the color glass condensate (CGC) effective theory generates these azimuthal multiparticle correlations and compute the corresponding Fourier coefficients vn within different CGC approximation schemes. We discuss in detail the qualitative and quantitative differences between the different schemes. Lastly, we will show how a recently introduced color field domain model that captures key features of the observed azimuthal correlations can be understood in the CGC effective theory as a model of non-Gaussian correlations in the target nucleus.
